NextImg:'Need Nike to do one!' Ben Everitt MP hits out at sportwear after kit redesign

Tory MP Ben Everitt has hit out at Nike for changing the colour of the St George's Cross, asking: "What other country in the world would accept this?"

He told GB News he thinks the decision is "bonkers", saying Nike should "do one and mess with somebody else's flag".

Asked about the change, Everitt told GB News: "I think its bonkers, its not the biggest political issue in the world - but why mess with the flag? The reasoning they've put behind it - the historical references, the 1966 training kit, you can sort out historical references on the kit without messing with the flag.

"One of your viewers just nailed it: what other country in the world would accept this? Messing about with the national flag, the national identity.
"It's a fairly simple thing, just leave it alone."
